From discovery to confidence:
Open up your voice
When people think about singing, many believe it is an innate ability. But this is not true at all. Most people can learn to sing better and the best singers have had a lot of practice. At Voicelab Den Haag, we believe that everyone can further discover their own voice and thereby learn to sing better.
At Voicelab Den Haag, I offer group singing lessons from Monday to Thursday evenings at various levels. Whether you’re a beginner, have some experience, or want to refine your technique, we have a suitable group for you. You’ll also receive exercises to practice at home and explanations about the technique, so you can work on your own and progress even faster. You can also choose 1-on-1 singing lessons. These are mostly available during the day.
There are various singing methods. In Voicelab Den Haag, teacher Boukje works with the Voice Construction method. With this method, you learn to convert natural body responses (fright and scream) into conscious settings for singing. You receive clear instructions on how to use your voice optimally while singing, without focusing on every detail at the muscle level of what you need to do. The technique assumes that your brain is not capable of controlling different things simultaneously. You search for the most efficient route for you to be ready for your notes.
In my experience, this technique is fundamentally different from any other technique I have had (for example, abdominal breathing is not involved). You can achieve good results quickly with this.
